Iconic kiwi bach
Second time family from Japan have enjoyed this fabulous little home away from home. Ideally situated, short walk to the beach and handy to all amenities. Very family friendly. Everyone loved the neighbours dog who is a frequent visitor. Had some difficulty getting hold of owners agent but didn’t need to as things transpired. Will definitely be back

Didn't want to leave!
The bach is just as porttrayed, sunny, styley, great views, nice trees etc. There was a bit of traffic noise due to State Highway 1 being closed but that should be temporary. Loved our stay.

Cooper's Beach
House was comfortable and well equipped, lovely views and so close to the beach. However I suggest that the dryer should be fixed asap as judging from the amount of rain in Northland an easy way of drying clothes would be very handy

Fabulous family friendly getaway
Fabulous getaway for our family of five! We loved the views and the central location - this home is exactly as described in the listing. The easy location to the beach was great! Although a steep climb back. We loved the walking tracks that were close to the bach, and particularly enjoyed our walk to Mangonui fish and chips shop! This home is fantastic value for money if you’re after a quintessential kiwi bach experience. The only thing that would make this stay better is having a working dryer.

Real Kiwiana Batch with beautiful views
This is a cute Kiwiana batch with everything you could need on hand. Close to shops and this property has the most amazing views. Clean batch and owners are easy to deal with and very prompt to reply to requests. Neighbour's are friendly and helpful also. Great fishing spots and lots of lovely walking tracks. Highly recommend this property. Thanks again.

Disappointing
This is a nice old Kiwi Bach. Clutter made it inconvenient and dampness made it uncomfortable. This was one of the most expensive places we stayed in on our road trip North and we had to take our own linen and a hefty cleaning charge, no internet and then were expected to take our rubbish with us. The location was handy to a superb beach and a lovely town of Monganui which partially compensated for the inconvenience and discomfort of the house. The bed was not great and quite small. The views are nice but we could have stayed elsewhere for less with better views.

Great view, comfortable but traffic noise
Unfortunately the previous occupants had not cleaned the property so we needed to hoover and wipe down everywhere. Also they had left a large wet patch on the mat by the kitchen sink which took a day to dry out and left a stain ( to add to the others). Having said that the view is great, the furnishing comfortable and the property is well stocked. The property is old so the bathroom is fairly basic but fine. And we certainly heard the traffic from the main road at all hours. But clearly others don't seem to have been disturbed by it.

Ideal beach bach
Our family of 4 from Australia enjoyed the character of this Bach which had plenty of comfortable beds and gorgeous views overlooking the bay. Great location to explore the Northland and miles from the touristy centres. Quiet with beautiful birdlife and helpful neighbour sharing where to swim and eat. Highly recommend for an authentic NZ beach holiday.
